Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

...often I was working with students who were coming back to college with a memory of hating math. I made sure to take extra time and care with these students and while doing so, I got to watch as the light bulbs would go off and their dislike of math began to change. I understand that math and physics can feel like learning a new language. The concepts aren't always intuitive at first. I like...

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. I work with students in a variety of subjects, including Math, Physics, and Chemistry. I have experience working with students on the Autism spectrum and with ADHD.

I just graduated with a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from University of New Mexico. I'm a postdoc now at University of Arizona where I teach undergraduate and graduate students. My research is on application of peridynamics to multiphysics problems. I love working with kids and teaching. I would like to become a professor eventually.

As a facilitator I have the opportunity to build the desire to learn with the eventual reward apparent in the students development for a stronger future. Teaching takes me to a place where my passion and dedication for chemistry can be useful to others. Teaching is a privilege, a future- oriented profession with the responsibility of providing the right tools to guide the student for the rest of their life.

...and minors in Environmental Science and Spanish. For a year after graduation I worked in a biochemical research lab where I studied various protein pathways in cancer cells. I then left to begin my Peace Corps service as a high school Math teacher in Mozambique where I learned Portuguese, in which I taught. I also taught English to a group of adults and a group of adolescents. In addition I have been a math tutor...

...I will begin medical school at Tulane SOM. I first started tutoring by teaching English to adult refugees and teaching Japanese to elementary school children. During my undergraduate career, I was a preceptor for introductory biology. Most recently I was a STEM educator for young children! I most enjoyed creating fun lesson plans to teach difficult biology topics! As a native Japanese speaker, I have always enjoyed bringing my culture to those around me!

...program of the University of Arizona have made me a valuable tool for anyone hoping to improve the quality of their writing. English and literature have been an important part of my life since elementary school. I grew up in East Hampton, New York with an overactive imagination that required constant stimulation. To pass the time (whenever my parents believed my video game addiction to be getting out of hand), I would create magical fantasy...

...it connects to so many other fields of study. I am passionate about helping students because I have found joy in learning about History and of the natural world and I am motivated to share this with others. My teaching philosophy and tutoring style usually involves finding what aspect of the subject matter captivates the students the most and guiding them so that they can find out the answers on their own. I love studying...

...a minor in Chemistry. I also have a Master's degree in teaching from the UofA. I have worked in laboratories, as an editor, and as a high school science teacher. I tutor Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Math. Chemistry is my preferred subject (stoichiometry is fun!). My main goal in teaching and tutoring is to simplify concepts that initially seem difficult and to reduce frustration in math and science by building students' confidence in their problem-solving...

We all learn differently, but in the end we all still learn the same things.

...with students and being excited about the topic with them. I have bachelors degrees in French and Computer Science and a Masters in Linguistics. I'm also a Toastmaster so I can help with public speaking as well as writing since I have a book undergoing publication. Throughout my career, I've been a computer operator, programmer, computer lab coordinator, teacher, tutor, and database developer. I also love music and although I've played classical piano, I'm now...

...of learning and teaching the materials. Teaching styles vary when going over algebra and basic calculus to organic chemistry to human anatomy, but my tutoring style begins by talking to the student to understand the personality of the student. By talking, this helps both myself and the student see how they will learn the material. In my spare time, I enjoy reading to gain a better scope of life and information, strength training, home automation,...

...However, they need to be taught some simple basics on how to read for comprehension, write using evidence, problem solve using diagrams, and finally, study using a strategy. When any deficiencies have been addressed within the subject area, then the student becomes capable of understanding new concepts and then continuing successful progress on their own. As a tutor, I will make every effort to identify the student's deficiencies that need to be strengthened while maintaining...

I graduated with a B.S. in Physics and currently work as an electrical engineer as I pursue my M.S. in Electrical Engineering. I am a scientist at heart and enjoy helping people find their spark in learning. My approach to learning which has helped many students is to teach proficiency in the skill, followed by, or in parallel with, explaining the concept from as basic a principle as the student would like.

...presentation in class, not just my subject knowledge. Real world experience to work beside the theory and the idea of the class. Included in that is the idea to teach the whole student (morals, ethics, work ethic, boundaries, protocol, etc) in order to make sure the student is successful not just in class, but in life. Humanities to me is a quest for truth. As a result, enabling wide ranging debates, perspective and and interpretation...
